He definitely got the GM fired but why was Daboll a casualty? Did he have any say in the decision? I think he's a decent coach
I say that only because they were brought in as a package deal..

John Mara might be so disgusted that he might pack em both up

And everyone is automatically crowning them as a Super Bowl shoo-in. If I was a Lions fan I'd be worried af. We know how this story usually ends
Lions fans should be worried? We've seen WAY too much shytty football to be worried about our team actually being a favorite. I can guarantee to a fan we'd rather this "worry" than the type of concerns we've had to deal with the past 40-50 years:manny:

The thing is that those teams don't have a particularly high ceiling, they just get by.

I wanna see them vs Bills, Chiefs, Ravens and the Eagles, teams with a high ceiling. And who odds-wise are together with the Lions on a completely different level than the 2nd tier in Houston, Vikings, Steelers etc.

It has happened before that people with easy wins have big problems when they aren't prepared for adversity. When they haven't played against a team with a crazy running game all season, when they haven't played against a defense that easily keeps most teams under 20 etc.

I'm not saying that this is the case, but it my only worry regarding their title chances. It's not science.
Vikings top 10 overall defense and give up 17 a game. Detroit dropped 31 on them in their house.

Thats wjy they need to be flexed out or all TBD until about week 7 when we see who's who in the NFL. This slate is ass
No way the players would go for the possibility of being flexed into playing on a major family holiday.

They have families like everyone else....and to have those plans cancelled a week or so prior to Thanksgiving would be inconsiderate af.

I would do it atleast a month in advance. What about those players on dallas and detroit who deal with ir every year?
